the specifio means desired whereby the journa.ls may be removed. andnew journals substitut-ed with the grea.test facility.

While the drawing illustrates a Preferred embodiment of the invention, it is 110 be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements, the design ma.y be varied and such'other -changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted t0 within the scope of the irivention,

as c1aimed, without deparping= from the spi1it thereof.

F01 a f1111 understanling 0f the invention and the merits thereof, references is to be had in the following description and the drawing hereto 'attached, in whichz Figure 1 is aside vieW of a spindle such a.s used in a si1k quilling mchine.

Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal, sectional view on the line 22 0f Figure l, the

intermedia.te portion of the spindle being broken away and the dottec1 lines indicating a drift 01' analogous device inposition for removing a journal.

Figur6 3 is an end view -of the spindle. 40 Figure 4: is a perspective view 0f an end portion of a modified form of spindle.

Corresponding and like parts are referred t0 in the following description and designated in the several views 0f the dra.w- 5 ing by like reference characters.

The numeral l denotes the metal bocly 0f a. spindle, such as generally provided for use in a si1k quilling machine. An axial opening 2 is formed in each end of the spindle and receives a journal 3 which is set therein and rqm 0vable the'igfrom to 'vdmit '0=f replacement; Thegjo1 irnal;;3 is pressed into the opening 2 in a.inahnefto prevent aCCidental displacgfl1ent Longitudinal grooves, 012 Cha.nnelsi 4 are fornigd in the Sidesoflthe spindle l for reception of the 'usuzil springs not'showx'1, provided so hold the quil1 or bobbin upon the spin'dlje.

In acCorclanc(awith*theinventi0h 'a transvei*se 'opening 5 is fo1"med 21. i1jaceht each end of the spindle and intefsects the a.xial opening 2. A groove 01 channel -6 is formed in a side of the spindle and extends fxom the t'ransverse opening 5 thr0ugh the exttemity of the spindle andis in conrlmunication with the axia1 opening 2. The groove 01' channel 6 may form an extension 0:E one 0f the grooves 4, as ind1cated most clearly in Fig ures 1 and 2 of the drawing, 01 it Inay forma part of a groove form ed in a. side" of a. spindle which otherwise is devoid f grooves or'channels, as indicated in the modifiction shown in Figure 4. The gro0ve 6 provides a. passage for a. drift 7 or like 11001 o1 device, whereby the journal 3 may be removed from the opening 2. The end of'the drift 7 is introducecl into the opening 5 in the rear Of the journal 3, the latter being removed by tappingthe drift by means of a. hammer, the point (if the drift follow ing the journal through the grobve qr pass.ge 6.

The invention provides for the ready removal of a worn j ournal and the replacement thereof by a. new j01'11"1ia1 without necessitatin-g 10Ssof the spindle andthe replacement thereof in its entirefy by a new spindle, which, in the aggrega'te, entails some considerable expense whioh is obvia.ted by the arrangement which proVides for replacement of the worn journal.

S01ne typ9sof spindles am devoid 015 the transverse opening 5. The type of spindle shown is f01 silk quilling machines and the opening 5, at 0ne end theref, reeeives' the screw by means 0f Which the usua.l spool, not shown, is secured the1eto. The opening 5 at the opposite e nd of the spindle' receives' the wire spring, notshowh.which are fitted in the gro0ves or channels 4.
